JR on trade

Furthur proof this class is pretty watered down

 

Webster would have taken a 4th rounder and a happy meal for it.

Be happy, at have an actual GM.

 

Actually not true... MW asked for a lot, and I mean A LOT. Chip's "crazy" offer wasn't even enough to take MM from us last year... So I imagine he wouldn't give up this year's pick for much less.

According FOX Sports NFL Insider Peter Schrager, Kelly stopped just short of dealing away the Phillie Phanatic, the Liberty Bell and deed to Lincoln Financial Field in exchange for the prized quarterback he recruited to and coached at Oregon.

"Last year, the Eagles offered the Tennessee Titans, and I know this: a 2015 first-round pick, a 2015 second-round pick, a 2016 first-round pick and they said, 'Take any of our quarterbacks,'" Schrager told Colin Cowherd in a radio interview Wednesday.

"That's Sam Bradford, that's Sanchez, that's whoever. And, they said, 'Take anyone on our defense. We want that No. 2 pick. We want Marcus Mariota." - NJ.com / What did Chip Kelly, Eagles offer Titans for Marcus Mariota? | NJ.com

 

Actually looks like he offered even a bit more than that...

Peter Schrager of Fox Sports, speaking on the radio with Colin Cowherd on Thursday, said the Eagles offered the Titans:

• Two first-round draft picks (the 20th overall last season and 13th overall this season),
• A second-round pick (47th overall in 2015),
• Any quarterback on the roster (Sam Bradford or Mark Sanchez),
• And any defensive player on their roster.

“… And I know this,” Schrager said.

Chip Kelly, who reportedly went after the Buccaneers’ No. 1 overall pick, as well, denied similarly reported packages.

They say the same thing

 

This really would not surprise me LOL.....Kelly has been the 2010s version of Daniel Snyder.

That said, this is all water under the bridge at this point. We have MM, and I am happy with that. I like how Robinson is handling his job so far, so we will see how he handles the draft.

 

Webster biggest struggle in the draft is he always reached for players, he would draft them a round or 2 too early. Or in some cases he used draft picks on UFA's. FB in the fourth round still takes the cake last year. I hope and think JR will get way better value with our picks and move around the board much better than Webster

 

I love Mariota, but I have to question if we should of made the trade. I would of took Bradford & Fletcher Cox. Chances are Bradford would suck behind our line, get hurt, & we'd be a top-5 pick anyways. We'd be in position to draft Goff/Went, would have _____ drafted instead of Mariota last year in the 1st, extra 2nd last year, Cox, & a ton of pick this year.

But, whatever.. coulda, shoulda, woulda
